  • Heritage & Memorial Sunday – Sunday June 12th:  For the first time in 3 years, we will be able to gather in-person for Heritage Sunday and give thanks for those who came before us in the church cemetery. This years’ service will include a special time of remembrance for all members of our St. Andrew’s family (and extended families) who died over the course of the COVID pandemic. The challenges of the last few years made it difficult or impossible to grieve these losses together, and so we will take time on June 5th to mourn, give thanks, and celebrate the lives of these people as a community.
  • Vacation Bible School – July 4th – 8th, 9 am – Noon:  Once again three churches of Ancaster are gathering to create a wonderful learning environment for local children. At Knights of North Castle VBS, children will enjoy an interactive, energizing, Bible-based good time as they go on a quest in search of the King’s Armor. VBS is for children that have completed SK to grade 6. The cost is $30 per child. Join us at St. John’s Parish Hall, 37 Halson St. Ancaster on July 4 – 8 from 9:00 am -12:00 Please share with family, friends, and neighbors. We are also in need of volunteers for group leaders and assistants, to supervise the smaller groups of children on their adventure. To register, volunteer, or to find out more about VBS, go to https://2020.cokesburyvbs.com/AncasterVBS
